I move the PPC tree over to BitKeeper and it was worthwhile. I madersync updates and plain old 'diff' patches against Linus' tree availablenightly. It was easy and very quick to do that, I had it running fornearly 2 years very well. In fact, you can still grab the patches fromftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/cort/. What is your problem with BKapart from the license religion? Linus has made it clear he'll providepatches in the same old style. I don't see what you think you lose here.The gain for people who ship him patches is well worth it. Before I handedthe PPC tree over to Paul I would have killed to get Linus to use BK soshipping him patches would be easier for everyone involved. If I werestill a maintainer my response would be a lot less mild to those peoplethat fight against BK on something so intangible as "feelings" about thelicense. I put in a lot of hours shipping patches that were for nothing,BK is helping avoid that for the current crew.

Seriously, what is your problem with BK? What do you feel that you lose?

} Also. The things being discussed here *matter* to some people.
